Ottley, McFarlane, Quitely and Silvestri cover The Walking Dead

The Hollywood Reporter has debuted the variant cover created by Invincible artist Ryan Ottley for the landmark 100th issue of The Walking Dead, the acclaimed horror series by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn. The variant joins those newly revealed from Todd McFarlane, Frank Quitely and Marc Silvestri, as well as the wraparound by Adlard.

“When Robert asked me to draw a cover for The Walking Dead, he said the magic words: ‘draw whatever you want.’ So I was totally excited to do something ‘action-y’ with Michonne and her sword,” Ottley said. “She’s always been my favorite character in the book, and soon to be in the TV show as well. And it’s always fun drawing zombie gore, especially with swords!”

@DrunkJack I doubt Moore would ever draw anything for TWD ever again. Him and Kirkman had a huge falling out over “creative differences.” The word on the street is that Moore’s really difficult to work with. I met him in 2007 and he was kinda cold… not at all friendly like Kirkman.

I wouldn’t say he’s a Jack Kirby, though. Moore only illustrated the first run. Most of the characters he designed are long dead. He still gets credit for creating the series, and I wouldn’t be surprised if still got some financial compensation, especially from the tv series.
